Best Landscaping in Joliet, IL 60435 - Alvarez Lawn & Concrete Service

Absolutely. Improper grading is a common cause of standing water. When we construct a patio, porch, or walkway, we ensure it's installed with the correct slope and base materials to direct water away from your home and toward appropriate drainage areas, solving pooling issues and protecting your foundation.

Yes. While we focus on hardscaping and lawn care, irrigation timer failures often relate to underlying electrical or installation issues. We can assess the situation, perform necessary repairs to adjacent concrete or masonry (like walkways or walls hiding lines), and ensure your lawn care and new construction work integrates seamlessly with a functional watering system.

In Joliet's varied landscape, a properly built retaining wall does more than hold back soil. It's a key drainage tool. We construct walls with built-in weep holes and gravel backfill to relieve hydrostatic pressure and channel water away, preventing erosion and eliminating soggy, unusable areas in your yard.
